']Jcyond all oilier rnountains'of the Blocks*borg1 range, tlie wild solitudes of the HnrUhaYc been, from t'uuc immemorial, supposed tobe the haunts of ghosts, elfins and spectres.The inhabitants of this neighborhood are, forthe most -partj miners and .woodsmen, and arenaturally imbticd wjth the local superstition.On many occasions they have attributed to thepOWcr Of the elfins, those natural phenomenawhich f-u?V have experieuced during their suljtcrrauca'ii''labors. The belief also prevails, thatH tutelary dci.'ion, of a most savage appearauce,a? ?lls :m the gloimi}' forests oi the Tlartz, colossal in iie.:'T''^ an^ nI,*? head appeared crownedWith oak leaves; n.\;"thiabotb- ,,?U"(1a fiery belt, and in his hanJ j16 carrich a" :Trooted pibo tree.Long ago this demon used to hold frequentcommuuications Vith tbo people in that district; he used ofton to meddle, in their affairs,rathor for the purpose of doing them goodthan of Injuring them. ? But it was observedthnt'his kindness generally turned unhappilyto those who wcro the rccip'teuts of it. . Theclergymen, in long sermons, frequently exhorted their flocks to cease holding any eom.munication with him. It happened that onone diiy, the preacher mounted the pulpit intho church of Margenbrodt, for the purpose of?expatiating on tho perverity of the lnhnbbtaut?, in at ill r*ou tinning to communicate withfairies, and goblins and demons, but in particular, with him of tho Hartz. These superstitious pcoplo laughed at tho zeal with whichthoir vonorablc pastor held forth upon thispoint. At last the heat of his discourse augmented in proportion to the spirit of oppositionxvhich ha met; but tho congregation could not'suffer that a demon, who had been so peaceable for hundreds of years, should bo comparedto Astaroh hud Beelzebub. Tho fonr. also, oftho demon punishing thein lor listening to stichsermons, was added to-thc interest which thoyfelt in hiin.". ?"A monkish babbler like him," they cried,"con say what ho pleases with inipuuity ; butwe, the inhabitants of this country, who remain ut the mercy of this insulted demon, wbwill bo tho victims of his just indignation. ' .The poasants did.not loug restrain their rosentnient; pcltihg him with stones, they huntedthe poor priest out of the parish, telling him togo and preach to others against demons.As threb young oharcoabburnore?who hadtaken a-part in tho pnrauif of tho priost?werereturning home to thoit cbttage^tho ^onvorsatjon uatuv-tlly turned upon .the demoq of thoHartz, aud ?n their pastor's scrm?n. Max audGoorgp .?Vald,cck, agreeing thfct the priest'slaug-unge was indiscreet, nuihitaiucd, ,ne.vcrtho*l*ess, that It wag very clangorous t?' have theslightest communication with tho demon, bocause he was wicked, capf ielons, }ind powerful,and all those who had any communication withhim ulwnys experienced misfortune From it.Had he" not glvon to tho gallant Chevalier Sybort, the famous black stood, with which hoconq'uored all his competitors at. the grandtournament ni Bremen ?

Martin-was young, during and rosh\ and smiled atthe timidity of-his brothers.""Cease.'' im said,."all this folly j the demonis a good and kind one. He "lives among us asa simple peasant; he frequents-the rocks and.solitudes of the mountains, pouietiir.es as ahunter, and other times as a shepherd. Buthow can this demon be so malicious as you say ?"What power ( ?i he have over mortals, whomake use of his .gifts without submitting themselves ' to his will? The benefits and gifts of? the spirit of the Hartz can no'- injure us; it isthe bad use which wc make of thcnt, thata?icsrrV ' ? ' ' . ' ?Max replied, that riches, badly acquired,could never profit (heir possessor. Martin declared, positively, that the possession, of all thetreasures in the Hartz Mountains would not becapable of effecting the. least change in hishabit, manners or character.This conversation lasted until the brothersreached their lowly hut, which was situated onjl liuight, in the neighborhood of Brockenborg.They then, according to custom, arranged thewatches for the uight; for one of the brotherskept guard, while the two others slept. Infact, the - bunmig ?rthe cW-ivat repuired' acontinual "attention. ? .Max. Waldeck, the eldest brother, hadwatched about an hour, when he saw. suddenly,uppii the borders of the swamp opposite to thedoor of his cottage, an immense fire, aroundI which numerous figures danced in the mostj grotesque attitudes. Max's first thought wasto call (Jeorgc; but he could not awaken him'without Martin bearing. So upon reflection,in spite of the terror with which this? singularphantom filh d him, he resolved to watch alone.Besides, the ?-?'range-fire w\is gradually disappearing, and he was thon (juite free from fear.George did not delay in relieving Max, whoretired to bed without saying anything. Thevast Ore again filled the valley, and the samephantoms surrounded and danced through.theflames. George was more courageous thanMax, and resolved to cross the stream, whichseparated him from the marsh', (.'limbing upan eminence, be approached near to where, thefire was burning. Among the ellius thatbustled about the" flames, he recognized thegiant, covered with hair and armed With' a pinetrcc-j in a word, it was the demon.of the Hartz,I t>w',h as the ohJ shepherd*had described to him.? Trembling 7.'dh Tear, lie commenced recitingthe psaini eoiupiene;:^ wjt-li '"'Let all the angelspraise thee, 0 Loru.:" which 7/:us looked on, inthat country, as a sorerc.'^-?1 pres?rfativoagainst the influence of bad spirits, lie i;'i'iied |his'eyes again Cowards where the lire had beenburning, but all had disappeared. Tho valleywas no longer illuminated; but by the pale raysof the mcon, George, in great terror, directedhis course to the ? place of this extraordinaryscene, but bo found iio trace of fire on theheath ; neither the moss nor wild flowers werescorched or faded?the branches of the oakwhich had appeared enveloped in flames, werewet with the night dew. George returned tothe hut, and reasoning the same way as Max,resolved to say nothing of what he had seen,as be "feared to awaken the curiosity of Martin.Tho night was far advanced .when Martin's.watch came on, and when well awake, his firstcaro was to examine the furnace. Ho saw, tohis great astonish incut, that George had notattended to it, and that the tire was out?<re?know already why. Very m'ttcli annoyed, be?>ct about lighting it, but it was useless. Itbecame serious, for the poor fellows: risked theloss of their market next day. Mortified bythis ao?ident, Martin had just decided to awaken bis brothers, when a gleam of brilliant?light suddenly crossed the windows of the eoUtage. His first idea was, that the Muhclohauscra, his rivals in trado bad encroached uponhis boundaries, and had come to steal his wood".But a moment's observatioh was sufficient toconvince him that' the spectacle, which waspreseuted to his view, was a supernatural phenomenon.'?Be these mon or demons," said be, "I willgo and a?V.a firebrand from them, to light myfirc;'^ Saying these W?rde,", he took his wildboar Janco and advanced towards tho phantoms... , , .. ; .Ho soon crossed tho stream, climbed thehill, and approached sufficiently near thiselfin gathering to discern all the peculiaritiesof the domon of the Hart?. For the first timein his life, ho shuddered with fear j but summoning up immediately his wavering cob rage,he advanced firmly towards the fire. At eaohstep he took, the figures' became moro wild andextravagant in their movements. ' In a moment ho was in the midst of them They received him with manifestations of applause,and their tumultuous, laughter stung his verycars"Who arc you VI crietl file giant, in a voiceof thunder, and frowning gloomily.^Martin Waldcck, a charcoal burner," hereplied "and who arc you; yourself ?"'{The king of chaos and of mines," replied.the|Bpcctre; "but why have you dared to penctrat* our mcsterics ?" .*U[ came here to get u fire-brand, in order toliglft my fire," Waldcck answered boldly."Wjtat are the mysteries which you celebrateUcM" :'Jjfhc marriage of Hcrnacs and the blackdmjjoh; but take the fire-brand if you wish,and dopart, for no mortal ean witness our festivities with impunity."Martin- then stuck the point of his lance in :llar& log, and regained his hut, amid the noiseof ??"mocking laughter of the phantoms. Insohjjj of his terror, his first step was to relightthof^iuruacc, by means of the burning log,wh oh.be carried. Strange to say. in spite ofall (he efforts which'he made, this billet, attirstK'all on fire, wept out without kindling theother wood. Martin was excessively chagrinedat BjIh j' the fire still burned on the hill, butthoso who had surrounded it had disappeared.Waldcck thought that the spectre "was buttrjfjing with him. He resolved to undertakea new adventure, and set out on bis way to thehill: He nrrived, and without encounteringanjjfopposifion, he seized a second log of wood,antJ cArricd it offns lie did the first; but stillxniho.Ut being able to kindle bin (ire. - The case"wnn^Vnitch lie obtained the fir.it two. brands,increased his boldness, and he returned for thethird tiim and carried away a great flamingbillet. He had not gone far, when he heardthe voice of the cltin crying aloud to him, uot,on any account, to have the temerity to venture back agabi. Tho efforts which Martinmade), to light his furnace with his last firebrand, were just as useless as the preceding:Exhausted with fatigue, ho threw himself onhis bed id' leaves, fully determined to informhis brothers, the next day, of his strange adventures.Morning had scarcely appeared, when hewas awakened from a profound sleep, by loud.cries of joy and surprise. The first thingwhich Max and Ocorgo did on rising, was tolook at the condition of their furnace. Whileracking the cinders, they found three nicta'liclumps, which they kuew to be pure gold.Their joy was a little diminished, however,when Martin told them by what means he hadbecome master of it. The others could not resist the temptation of partaking in the prosperity of their brother.Martin Waldcck soon took the title of headof the family. He bought lands and woods,and had a splendid mansion erected, and also'he obtained letters of nobility, to the greatscandal and disgust of the ancient nobles. .Hiscourage in war enabled him to brave, at alltimes, the jealousy which his sudden elevation,anJ the arrogance of his manners, excited.But the evii .HcHuations which poverty had repressed, now developed themselves. In fine,Wadloek rondored himself odious, J>ot only tothe nobles, but also to his inferiors, who supported, with pain, the insolence of a man whohad sprung from the very dregs of tho people, iThe manner in which he -bad been enrichedwas heretofore a profound secret, but by somechance it had transpired, and already the clergy threatened him as a sorcerer. . Surroundedby enemies, and tormented on all sides, MartinWaldcck. or rather Baron Waldcck, soon regretted his youthful poverty and contentment,for envy and hatred were around him everywhere. His courage never abandoned him atany time ; in fact, on the contrary, he appearedto court danger. But an unforeseen eventhastened his fall.Tiie reigning Buke of Brunswick having invited, by proclamation, all tho Gorman uoltlcascto a solemn tournament. Martin Waldcck,clothed in brilliant armor, accompanied by histwo brothers, and attended by or superb coftcgr.,had the insolence to appear in the midst of thecavaliers of the province, and demanded permission to enter the lists. This was looked onas the height of presumption. A thousandvoices cried out: ''We will riot let this charcoal burner into our ranks.Enflnmod with passion, Martin drew hissword, and overthrow the hcrnld-at-arms, whoendeavored to prevent his cntoribg the lists.Swords were raised on all sides to aVenge, acrime at that time considered themofctatrocious'except high treson. . Waldcck defended himselfto desperation, but he was made prisoner, amicondemned, by the judge -of the tourney, tohnvc-r-nccording to custom?his right arm-cutoff,, to lose his titles of nobility, and to be driv?en ignominiously from tho ;city. They despoiled.him of his armor, And.having undergone his punishment, he was* delivered up tothe populace, who pursued him, heaping menaces, outrages and insults on his devoted head.It was with the greatest difficulty that thebrothers could drag him forth from the'handsof the mob ; they had' loft him for.dead. Helost sq much blood,.and vrns in such .a miserable condition, that it was necessary to place,him in a cart, and under him they put some'straw. Thus tho Wadlecks fled.. Scarcely had they reached.the frontiers oftheir native country,.when they perceived in.ahollow road, situated between two mountains,an old man, who advanced to meet them. Butshortly after, the limbs and size of this man in-,creased in bulk ; his cloak fell from his shoulders, and his pilgrim's staff was metamorphosedinto an enormous pine. In a word,, the, Demon of the Hartz was'presented - to their eyesin all his frightful apparel. -When he was op-.'posito to the cart in which, the sick man lay,he asked of him, with an. atrocious grin, if hisfire brands had kindled his furnace. . Martinwas indignant at these* words, but could scarcely raise himself.. Uc pointed towards .thespectre with a mertqeiug gesture;' but he disappeared, uttering a loud mocking laugh, leaving tho unfortunate Waldcck to struggle withdeath. Max and George,- being terrified, directed their course towards the- towers of'aneighboring convent, which olevated their tops,above the. dark pine forest by whioh they weresurrounded. At that place they were charitably received by a nwnk with a long, venerable.beard, and iu naked feel.. Martin lived justlong enough to.make a confession'of his life,and to receive absolution from the hands of thovery priest, whom long ago he had pelted withstones in tho village of Margenbrodt. HistTiree years of prosperity mysteriously "corresponded with the three visits which'hc had madeto the elfin's hill.The -body of Waldcck was interred withinthe convent, and his two broth era assumed thehabit bf the order. Both tho miners. and thowoodsmen shun, even to this day, the rulus ofthe Chateau tie Wahfeck, for thoy suppose thatit has become tho resort- of elfins and evilspirits. ??'*""M I S C E L L A N E O US;-.CapAnn.iTif.s ok tiik South.?The NewYork &ty>rcYftsays: The South have iron, coal,slate und marble beneath the soil, and a climate capable of every variety of productionupon its surface.?The Southern States arenearer tho West, and ono of them nearer Europe, than we are.?Their present prospcotsarc blighted by two causes?that of the war,and the radical supremacy in Congress,*whichhas covered the laud like a mildew.
